knew she had a soul above the laun-

Hard to Kill.

Inere IS a man IN wall street who
is a cause of anxiety to his friends,
but not for the reason that he is an
ordinary dealer in stocks and q
scalper of straddles. His name is C.
K. Eastlan, and he is interesting be-
cause he is likely to fall dead at any
moment. He has died three times so
far, and he doesn't look as though he
had done his best in that direction.
He is fully aware of his pleasant little
popularity, and is unable to explain
it to anybody. The first time he died
was when he was 80 years old, and
that was about sixteen years ago.
He Was living in Norwich, Con-
necticut. He had suffered with
chronic indigestion and was weak
and feeble. One evening he
was walking out after an unusually
hearty supper, consisting of a crack
er and q cup OF tea, when he sudden
ly fell on the sidewalk. The people
who came to his assistance found
him, to all appearances, dead. The
doctors declared he had died OF heart
disease, and preparationsfo for the flu
neral were begun the next day. His
friends came and looked at his corpse,
and remarked what sad case it was,
and the local papers published full
obituaries. On the second night ne
astonished the watchers by sitting up
in his coffin and asking for a drink.
When he saw how close he had come
to premature burial he came near DIV.
ing in earnest.
He lived on regularly enough for
tour years after that. He was down
in New Mexico looking after mine in
the summer OF 1875, and it was then
that he next suspended animation.
The New Mexicans never had an idea
that he was alive, and as the wealth
er is very warm there he would
lnfallibly have been buried ifhe hadn't
been somewhat expeditions about
coming to life. Nobody knew him
down there and he was laid out in an
undertaker's shop in Santa Fe that
served as morgue. When he came
to and wanted to know what he was
doing there, he scared the undertaken
assistant into fits. His third exploit
occurred in Philadelphia, one hot day
two years ago last summer. He was
supposed then TO have been sun
struck. He carries in his pocket now
q carefully written note containing
his address and requesting that he
be taken there in ca5e Of accident
All his relatives and friends have been
notified not to let him be buried
without having q good chance TO
come to life again if he can. But with
all his precautions he is haunted by q
.forebo ding that somebody will bury
him alive yet. The doctors don't
know exactlywhat is the matter with
him, but he has m..de arrangements.
